Turning 56

Happy birthday, me. Hot day, bills are paid, normal Friday stuff, dishes are washed, some weeds removed, and I am putting my feet up for a bit.
Annoyed with myself, with my finances and with my wanting to do something to tank all the progress my hard work has made on my credit debt.
I go though this attitude stuff a couple times a year, and win the battle to stay on track almost all the time.
I did buy the iPad and it is getting closer to paid for every month, I just did a pre-approval for credit at Honda and want, Do Not Need, a new metropolitan scooter. Love my little Passport, but can't pass the damn test for motorcycle, still have just permit. My balance is screwed up since the accident, maybe more practice at that skills test would resolve the test problem.
But today I want to pout and feel sorry for myself. That never lasts long, I love my life here, like my old house, love that vintage bike and know the mood swing will not last long, it never does.
I am not going to tank my finances just to get a quick fix for a small blue spot in my stable little world. And I am not buying myself a new doll, more yarn.
I might go ahead and order the Apple TV device and get Netflicks. I could then drop my Dish Network account, and once device is paid for, the Netflicks bill is 1/3 what my basic Dish bill is.
I am not saying this is the right time to do the change, but I will say I am seriously considering it. I would like my IPad paid for first, and have auto insurance to pay on soon.
Thinking about this instead o wanting a new scooter is smarter financial dealings, and I know it. So, now to work on my silly little head, get ready to go to work, get happy about the small things in my very good little life.
